Solution

The correct statement about making a proper stop is: "If the flame is removed too late from the molten weld pool, it will rapidly oxidize."

This is because the molten weld pool needs to cool down and solidify to form a strong weld. If the flame is removed too late, the high temperature can cause rapid oxidation, which can weaken the weld. The other statements are incorrect.

Flashing the torch off does not prevent the molten weld pool from solidifying, it actually helps it to solidify. You should not slightly taper down the molten weld pool by flashing the torch off, as this can lead to an uneven weld. Pockets of oxides do not add strength to the weld, they can actually create weak spots.
